Yogi Telugu Movie
Yogi is actually a good movie, but it's release timing is wrong. Yogi is a movie based on mother sentiment. It's Sankranti time in Andhra Pradesh and family oriented movies should do well. But then Sankranti is also a time for joy and celebrations. Yogi has a sad ending, which doesn't gel with the Sankranti mood.
The movie ends on a sad note. The viewers have to leave the theatres with slightly heavy hearts. For busy people who get the much-needed break during this time of year will definitely stay clear of this movie. A fun filled romantic comedy is what people wish to see during this time of the year. And there is not a single movie in telugu in this genre.
Now the story of Yogi:
Iswara Prasad (Prabhas) is a young village lad who is the only son of his parents. His mother (Sarada) dotes on him. Iswara's father dies of some disease and he moves to Hyderabad to keep his mother happy by getting a decent job. He lands up in the city and searches for his friend Basha (Ali). He has dreams in his eyes that he would be earning soon like his friend Basha. But the fact is Basha is a pickpocket and a thief. Not only Ishwara fed with a lie by Basha but also the big bad city holds more surprises for him that changes his life forever. Luckily Iswara gets shelter from Chandramohan who runs a restaurant. While Iswara is keen on returning to his village his mother leaves village in search of him and comes to the city. Are they destined to meet each other? Or the law of Karma will catch up with Iswara? Yogi answers these questions.
